I enjoyed it on this ship more than I thought I would, Marianne. I think on any other Oasis-class ship I'd not particularly enjoy having the Ultimate Abyss blocking my views to the ocean or aqua theater, but on Allure it's quite relaxing. I will say that if you're a light sleeper or wake up early, the Boardwalk does get quite active in the mornings!

Hey Biff, it's true that Allure has not undergone the "Amplification" that other Oasis-class ships have. I was a bit concerned about that myself before I sailed on her, but that was quickly dissipated as you can see that they still continue to make improvements to the ship even without having the full treatment.
